I tried coffee group for a few years....sporadically in the end... and now my baby boy is 5 I have quit trying to pretend I liked trying to deal with competitions and dramas....I am slowly and surely deleting them from my Facebook friends now!! With my Persia baby (3 in August), I bestow the pleasure of social interaction and the learning of the how-to's of socializing through 2 mornings at kindy! I have missed the best friend thing so much though! I mentioned this to another mother with older children and she said she met her 2 best friends once her boys started school. So now, as I drop off and pick up my son from school I look at the other mothers, knowing that many of them will be around for the next 5 years at least and wonder which suits me best? I want a best friend, one that matches me and compliments me, but isn't my husband? Maybe a Dad friend would be easier, but I don't think my current Dad friend hubby would be so excited about that.....I can imagine picnics in the park with new Dad friend and our kids.....yeah....nah....I want a girl friend! Anyone moving to Auckland.....tomorrow? xxxTanya Nortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04369458140865512006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1156637127154716552006-08-26T17:05:00.000-07:002006-08-26T17:05:00.000-07:00What a great site bodybuilding photos audio confer...What a great site <BR/><A HREF="http://j1utgybzc.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">bodybuilding photos</A> <A HREF="http://www.audio-conference-calls.info" REL="nofollow">audio conference calls</A> <A HREF="http://www.body-building-0.info" REL="nofollow">Women body builders bare</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1133913648130046802005-12-06T16:00:00.000-08:002005-12-06T16:00:00.000-08:00Oh, how I HATE those my-child-is-a-genius-and-your...Oh, how I HATE those my-child-is-a-genius-and-yours-is-a-dumbass mothers. <BR/><BR/>But your post made me laugh because it reminded me so VERY much of me.

I tried to go the playgroup route where I looked on line for mom's groups...Um. Yeah, no. The mom friends I have now I've met mainly through craigslist and through my blog, believe it or not. Most of us take a laid-back, slightly irreverent approach to parenting. None of us takes ourselves too seriously. Give it time...I hope she calls!Stefania Pomponi Butler aka CityMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728498204991717100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18751784.post-1132775815914887592005-11-23T11:56:00.000-08:002005-11-23T11:56:00.000-08:00It's totally hard to make mom friends.

When I have met another friendly mom (usually at Babies R Us) they seem as ecstatic as I do to meet another nice person.<BR/><BR/> <BR/>I've mainly stuck to my old school girlfriends. They all have kids already and we've been friends for ages.
